On Wuyi Lane, the Xie family's mansion in Chenjun.

The little book boy Xie Xiang sat on his knees solemnly, with his little head lowered, pretending to think carefully, and his clever eyes were spinning around. What should be the next step?

Xie An, an old man with gray beard and hair, squinted his eyes and saw the little boy holding it there, but he was not worried at all.

Since his nephews and nephews have grown up, Xie Xiang has become the little baby who accompanies Xie An the most every day.

This kid is smart and hard-working, but he doesn't have the patience to do things.

Always unsteady.

So, Xie Gong took out the chess piece and taught him a few moves when he had nothing to do, and also tempered his temperament.

"Go here."

“This is the best.”

At some point, Xie Shi came to Xie Xiang's side, took a brief look at the battle situation, and then helped him with his tactics.

Xie An frowned: "Slave Stone, watch the chess without saying a word."

Xie Shi quickly shut his mouth.

"What the elder brother teaches is..."

Xie Shi stood there, although his eyes fell on the chessboard, his mind was obviously not on playing chess. Along the edge of the sleeves that hung naturally down his arms, a piece of silk was exposed.

Looking carefully, there seems to be writing on it.

Xie An waved his hand, and Xie Xiang left on his own.

The chess game is still there as it is. Although the winner seems to be almost decided, there is no reason to destroy it as long as the game is not over.

Xie An got up and took Xie Shi to a waterside pavilion.

The old man looked at the calm lake. Another year had passed. The fish, which were carefully cared for every day, were eating well, resting better, and seemed to be fatter.

Even his swimming style seems a bit clumsy.

It's time to starve them a few times and give them some good exercise.

The lake has no waves, which also reflects Xie Shi's face. Xie Shi has a long face, which brings with it a sense of sadness.

Now that long face is drooped, making it look a bit longer, and it is simply too sad to be worried.

Seeing that his brother had not spoken for a long time, Xie An guessed that there must be no good news.

After waiting for a while, he muttered: "Shi Nu, is there any news from Beifu?"

"I heard that that boy Zhiyuan has transported all the new weapons made in the workshop to Beifu. He shouldn't be doing anything big."

Xie An has always been very knowledgeable about events. As he has grown older over the years, he has not often participated in court affairs. However, the big and small affairs in the Jin Dynasty can still get into his ears through various channels.

Xie Shi slapped his mouth, showing an expression of headache.

The only person who can give him such a headache is probably Wang Zhiyuan.

"It's not just a big move, it's a big move. Brother, the situation in the north has changed. Yecheng is under siege. Di Qin guard Fu Pi asked for help from the Beifu. Wang Zhiyuan sent someone to send news to the court, and he already brought

Soldiers and horses, the Northern Expedition!"

Xie An's hand playing with the stone suddenly stopped, and a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes.

Wang Zhiyuan!

This guy is too arrogant!

His heart was in turmoil, but on his face, Xie An remained calm.

Although I am holding on forcefully.

"Brother, another letter was sent this morning. The Beifu army has crossed the river and arrived near Zhangshui!"

"Wang Zhiyuan, he didn't take us seriously. I think he only asked a messenger to write a letter to the court a few days after the army set off. Isn't this a deliberate concealment?"

"He just wants to take risks alone, and he brings tens of thousands of soldiers and horses with him. Doesn't this mean that the foundation of Beifu is tied to him alone, and the foundation of the Xie family is buried with him?"

Beifu Bing has been in the hands of Xie Xuan for more than ten years. It is only thanks to Xie Xuan's hard work and the support behind the Xie family of Chen County that it has reached its current scale.

Wang Mi was obviously from the Wang family of Langya and could control military forces only because he was the son-in-law of the Xie family. When Xie Shi received these two letters, he immediately figured out what was strange about them.

The Xie family and the Wang family are both the top wealthy families in Jin, and they are also a community of interests with good relations, but at the critical moment, there are still differences.

Xie Shi's thoughts are the true and common thoughts of the children of several major families today. When it comes to fighting against the Sima family, the major families are definitely good partners hand in hand. But when it comes to their own interests, you are you and I am me.

, it still needs to be calculated clearly.

Even if the in-laws are deeply intertwined and have long been forgotten, this will not work.

"Brother, if you just say a word, I will write a letter and send it over as fast as possible!"

"We must not let the soldiers and horses of the two sides fight."

Xie An finally recovered from his wandering mind and returned to the human world.

Turning his head, he saw Xie Shi's eager expression.

As long as Xie An gives an order, he can immediately splash the ink.

"What are you doing?"

"Who said I was going to call him back?"

As soon as these words came out, Xie Shi's eyes suddenly darkened.

"But brother, how can you let this kid do whatever he wants outside?"

"Besides, he has also thrown the imperial court aside. Now that we have the news, Wang Gong will also know about it soon. Since the death of Emperor Daxing, he has focused on controlling the government. How can he tolerate such a thing?"

Xie Shi stretched his neck and shouted for a long time, his voice became hoarse. He was so worried because he was well aware of the situation in the Jin Dynasty.

Wang Mi's move will definitely offend Wang Gong.

Now that people are in power, does this kid intend to betray the Xie family and roast the Xie family on the charcoal fire, so that he, the Wang family, will benefit in the end?

"Brother, is this kid doing it on purpose to make Aning become enemies with our Xie family?"

Xie An said helplessly: "Of course it's impossible!"

"Zhiyuan and the others have already arrived in Yecheng!"

"Arrived in Yecheng!"

"This is such a great event that we haven't seen in twenty years. How can I bring him back?"

His younger brother is still as clueless as ever.

Kuchiki!

Dead wood!

Xie An said angrily: "This matter does not need to be discussed further. If Zhiyuan has any needs, we will fully support him."

"remember!"

Xie Shichu was there, dumbfounded.

Brother's attitude has changed too quickly.

As a younger brother, even if I take off my shoes and chase after him, I can’t catch up...

Xie Shi walked out in a daze, his steps wobbly and unsteady.

After walking only a dozen steps, I heard a call from behind and had to turn back with a question mark on my head.

"Brother, just ask." Xie Shi drooped his head, looking very lethargic.

Seeing his unsatisfactory look, Xie An could only sigh: "I heard that in order to make new weapons for Beifu, the Langya Wang family has sent a lot of money to the general workshop, and we have to show something.

."

"You can take people with you, put the money in the warehouse into boxes, and transport it to the general's workshop. Pu Chao, the current general minister, is an extremely reliable person and asked him to use all the cash to make weapons for the Beifu soldiers.

superior."

Xie Shi wanted to refute, but Xie An said first: "Go quickly!"

"The Wang family has already contributed money, how can our Xie family fall behind?"

A few walls away, the Wang family's residence in Taiyuan.

After returning from the palace, Wang Gong felt unhappy. He got off the bullock cart and went all the way to the side room. As soon as the door was closed, no one answered him.

"How long has it been since Mr. Lang went in?"

"It's about as long as a stick of incense."

Several little maids stood outside the door, eager to see what was happening in the room. One of the more courageous maids poked a small hole in the window paper.

But I saw that Wang Pushe, who had been proud of the recent spring breeze, was like a little ant, holding his hands behind his back and spinning around in circles.

He seemed to be mumbling something, and the maids stretched their ears, but they couldn't hear clearly what he said.

The two little maids who were standing in front of the hole suddenly felt their shoulders sink. Only then did they realize that the only owner of the back house, Mrs. Wang, had also arrived.
